Maybe we should acknowledge here that CAs working in the field of 
verification according to different criterion/policies/capabilities have 
a completely different view of the things than say browser vendors (not 
speaking about users thereof). It's natural that CAs see it differently 
since this is their main product, for browsers SSL is just a small 
(though important) aspect of their product.

I believe it wouldn't hurt to provide a more advanced UI for the more 
knowledgeable users without confusing the casual user who doesn't 
care/know what it's for anyway. This could be probably done with the UI 
that is one click away, whereas the regular UI (address bar) wouldn't 
change.

But that's just food for thought...
